Flowers from Bulbs

Tulips and daffodils do not grow from seeds. They grow from bulbs. These can be fun to grow indoors. At a garden shop, choose the bulbs you want to grow. Buy some small pebbles or collect them near you home. If you collect them yourself, be sure to wash them in sudsy water. Find a container about three inches deep.

To plant the bulb, put about two inches of pebbles in the container. Bury the bottom of the bulb in the pebble. Add water up to the bottom of the bulb. Store you container in a dark place. Check it to see when to add water. Watch for roots beginning to grow. When they start, move the container into a bright, sunny spot, and enjoy it!
